Northern Red Currant vs Snowball ViburnumRibes triste Viburnum opulus roseum NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2019) SOLD OUT (new stock expected: later this season) 
The Northern Red Currant is also known as the Swamp Red currant due to its preference for moist soil. As long as the soil is wet, this shrub can live in any degree of sunlight. Snowball Viburnum is a popular ornamental shrub with prolific flowering. This plant is prized for its round clusters of white flowers that resemble snowballs, delighting children and adults. In fall, its leaves turn vibrant shades of red. Snowball Viburnum is sought after as a single accent shrub, but can also make a dense hedge or privacy screen.
